A Collection of Carolina Collards.

- Abstract
This article focuses on heirloom collard seeds being collected by researcher Mark W. Farnham for preservation in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Plant Germplasm Collection. Different varieties of this leafy vegetable are nurtured by gardeners who sow their collard crops from heirloom seeds passed down through generations. Farnham conducts plant genetic research for the U.S. Agricultural Research Service. According to him, the different landraces still grown in North or South Carolina are in the hands of an aging population.
